Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

If it walks like a republican...

Chokes on cock like a Republican

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Hey, don't you dare discourage people from choking on cocks, at least be more specific like "orange cock."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

You can choke on cock all you like, as long as you don't do it on a Republican manor. I.E. metaphorically

Good thing we voted blue no matter who

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Are you suggesting a GOP candidate would have done differently?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So, one guy out of two hundred reps and you blame Democrats. But 200 hundred out of 200 hundred aren't accountable whatsoever?

Bad faith batman right here.

He's a democrat and democrats should hold him accountable.

You don't want to. He voted with you.

Hey. We just gotta vote harder ok. It's definitely not just a planned opposition party that will never let there be a majority of actual progressives in their party.

Hey. We just gotta vote harder ok.

Dems and their sycophants for the last 40+ years whenever the Left call for progress or at least active resistance against backsliding:

The number one priority from here until next midterms should be forcing Democrats like this or the 10 who censured Al Green. Primary them all with progressive populists.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Primary almost all these fuckers. Fuck em.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If they stayed for the entire address they should be primaried. One of your own gets kicked out of the session and you sit there like you don't even know him?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Imagine if after Greene gets kicked out, and HitlerPig starts yammering again, and ANOTHER Dem gets up and starts protesting, and gets kicked out. When HitlerPgs starts up again, ANOTHER Dem starts protesting. They should have kept going until there wasnt a Dem left in the chamber.

The next day, nobody would be talking about what HitlerPig was talking about, everyone woumd be talking about the big Democratic revolt. It would be historical, and historians would talk about it for decades. It would have been an enormous historical embarrassment for HitlerPig.

If each Democrat, in turn, pulled a Greene then Trump would've been there until midnight. Greene was the only one that got Trump to shut up!

What a scumbag.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago

Wonder if this has anything to do with Maine being targeted by federal agencies for no fucking reason.

Hopefully he gets primaried.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Don't just hope, help the local progressive group to make it happen.

The population of Rason tend to find it difficult to vote in American elections.

Good advice for many people in America though, yes.
